It's snowing heavily, and I saw the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang having a snowball fight

The Museum of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is composed of two parts: the well-known Terracotta Warriors Museum on the east side, and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor Heritage Park (Lishan Park) on the west side. Two years ago, the Bronze Chariot and Horse Museum opened in Lishan Park. There are free shuttle buses between the two scenic spots on the east and west sides, each requiring about two hours of viewing time. The Terracotta Warriors is one of the first batch of key protected units in the country, and one of the six first batch of World Cultural Heritages in China. Its archaeological value, tourism value, and historical value are almost unprecedented. The day before yesterday, Xi'an welcomed the second snowfall of 2024. Some professional actors from an art troupe each wore replicas of Qin Shi Huang and the Terracotta Warriors' costumes and started a snowball fight in the snow, making people feel as if they had traveled through time. Because I often travel on business, I have been to the Terracotta Warriors many times, but my two sons have only been there a few times. The last time my two sons visited the Terracotta Warriors, it was the last snowfall in Xi'an in 2023. Unfortunately, they didn't see our emperor having a snowball fight, haha. I suggest that everyone in the Terracotta Warriors scenic area should choose professional guides in the scenic area. The price is not expensive, suitable for children to listen carefully in family units, don't worry about noise, there are very professional headphones. Cultural and creative popsicles, all kinds of souvenirs are worth buying, especially the latter, the site is sent by SF Express, no need to carry it all the time. The catering in the scenic area is not expensive, and there are very authentic biangbiang noodles. The specialty store in the scenic area is called 'Nuo', which is the same name as my eldest son, which is also a special fate. Because it is at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and because Lishan Mountain was called Lishan in ancient times, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor Heritage Park is now called Lishan Park. But in terms of pronunciation, Lishan should be read in the second tone, and Lishan in the fourth tone (Li sometimes also reads the second tone, such as Lishui). From an administrative point of view, the Museum of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor still belongs to Lintong District, but the City Wall Management Committee is directly managed by Xi'an, so the latter's administrative level is even higher (but the fame is naturally the Terracotta Warriors).

Backward travel to Huaqing Palace first and then to Terracotta Warriors. Oh my god, there are so few people, it's so nice.
